Aw, well if you find that the AK and the Explorer are very similar, then maybe you might want a change up.

That's a tough call my friend. If I were in your shoes, I would be very tempted to trade as well. Would like to see the pics though.

Is the trade + cash or just the AK for the Hublot? If it's number 2, that's a pretty good deal.

Keep the AK! Step back, take a deep breath and gaze into the dial of your LAST Air King!

That Hublot looks mean, I love it. I has a bit more going on with it, the Air King, personally, has always left me cold

Hate to say it but I would go for it, if I were you. Given that your AK is a black dial and similar to your EXP I.

Take sometime and sleep on it, Hublots are great watches but if you like the one you have better then don't do it. If you wish to have a Hublot Big Bang then do it!

OK.....what your you're saying really answers your question. I know I said go for it but it really seems you don't want to. Keep it and forget about the Hublot. You'll feel a lot better

I'm leaning this way so far - even thinking about the Hublot is making me feel dirty like I'm cheating on my wife. I can't imagine owning anything other than Rolex at this point. I'm embarrassed airing my dirty laundry out there like this!!

I feel dirty man!

My 2 cents; take a shower, clean the AK, give it a kiss, apologize for ever thinking of dumping her and place her back in the box.
